"It's a pity that this once land of Longxing has reached the current situation." Wandering all the way in Qiao County, looking at the few people in shabby clothes on the street, Yuan Shu sighed softly: "In prosperity, the people are suffering; in death,

The people are suffering!"

Guo Jia looked at Yuan Shu strangely: "When did my lord have such literary talents again? He has such emotion. These words express the sadness of the people, but they should be from a poor family, unlike the lord who comes from a wealthy family.

The princes on this side can speak!"

Sometimes Guo Jia feels really puzzled by Yuan Shu's thoughts. It stands to reason that he comes from a wealthy family and has countless servants and maids under his command. He has been aloof since he was born. The environment determines his thoughts. No matter how kind-hearted he is, he still has a feeling of being superior to others. But Yuan Shu is like this.

.It would be fine if Yuan Shu had a cowardly character. How could a tough guy on the road with a domineering character have such empathy for the people? Shouldn't he regard human life as child's play and treat the people as nothing?

"Uh," Yuan Shu smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He wanted to show off his coolness on a whim, but he didn't want to be slapped in the face by Guo Jia. Fortunately, there are no such things as time-travel novels in this era. Guo Jialian couldn't think of it, otherwise he would show off his usual expressions.

So many flaws have long been exposed by Guo Jia.

"It just happened on a whim," Yuan Shu said vaguely.

Guo Jia felt a little weird. Seeing that Yuan Shu was unwilling to answer, he stopped pursuing it. Looking at the desolate scene around him, he also sighed softly: "Yuzhou used to be the number one state in the world. Before the Yellow Turban, Yuzhou had a population of more than five million.

, extremely wealthy, countless wealthy families have settled here, and Yingchuan Academy is also full of talents. But now... the population is only one million, and most of them are women, children, old and weak, and most of the young and strong have died due to years of battles. Liu Xuande finally coerced

For a large part, Yuzhou now is not even one-tenth of what it was back then."

"In a chaotic world, how many people will die, and all the national power will be lost!"

"The troubled times are a major reshuffle of the world's forces, breaking the old constraints and class interests, and rebuilding the world. How can the entire Han Dynasty support nearly 60 million people? How can it be done without losing most of it?

Are all the people in the world well fed?" Guo Jia said calmly.

After Yuan Shu's subtle influence, Guo Jia was no longer limited to the perspective of this era, but also began to look at the change of dynasties and the advent of troubled times from another aspect. The root of troubled times is not the Han Dynasty, nor the aristocratic families, but the population and land resources.

Unbalanced. The root cause is that the Han Dynasty can't support so many people with so little land. The emperor is fatuous, the eunuchs are disorderly in government, the officials are greedy, and the roots of the family are just external manifestations, that is, there is no Zhang Jiao and no ten permanent attendants.

Without Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, the world would still be in chaos.

"That's because these people are stupid!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "They only know about internal fighting and have studied internal fighting thoroughly. Those at the top can't do anything except internal fighting. Except for big men.

They have no idea how to open up the endless land, and they have no idea what a precious resource these 60 million people are. If they had just a little bit of enthusiasm and walked outside, how could the big man be in this desperate situation."

"My lord, you make it easy. If you go out, can the emperor control those people who go out? What will happen if there is another Chu and Qin? Will we create another Spring and Autumn and Warring States? In the eyes of those people, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is more important than anything else.

, what they need is a unified and stable Han Dynasty, not a powerful and divided Han Dynasty." Guo Jia shook his head.

"In the final analysis, the vision is still too narrow. After hundreds of years of fighting, we still guard this three-acre area. Why are there not a few ambitious people running outside?" Yuan Shu thought about the history books read by later generations and hated Tie.

Bu Chenggang said. Even an inconspicuous little leader among the so-called Liangshan heroes can become the leader of a small country. If there are a few more people like Liu Bei and Cao Cao, maybe the entire earth will be named Han.

"Foreign countries are all extremely backward barbarians, and they don't understand the language and are backward in development. What's the point of becoming the master of one party? It's like my lord, asking you to be the king of the southern barbarians and the emperor of the Yue people. Are you willing? Become a county.

Is Ling also better than that?" Guo Jia asked speechlessly.

"Then we can fight back to the Central Plains after we become stronger!" Yuan Shu argued.

"Not to mention the conflicts between different ethnic groups, my lord thinks that there is no place abroad that can compete with the Han Dynasty. And it is probably not as easy to unify the Huns and become the master of the Huns as it is to unify Hebei." Guo Jia said nothing.

He continued to complain politely.

Being retorted by Guo Jia, he had no power to fight back. Yuan Shu, the lord, was completely defeated and looked at Guo Jia bitterly: "Feng Xiao, you have the time to argue with me here, why can't you go to Liu Bei and get tens of thousands of people to come over?

?Believe it or not, I will transfer you to Yuan Hao and let you handle government affairs!"

Seeing Yuan Shu getting angry from embarrassment, Guo Jia shrank his head and muttered: "You obviously insist on arguing with me, and you threaten me if you lose. It's really shameless."

Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia, who had changed from a subordinate to a friend, and was angry on his face, but he was a little happy in his heart. He finally understood why Guo Jia was so uninhibited and uninhibited in history, and he did not know the inferiority of others, but he was deeply loved by Cao Cao. Gao Cao

Living in a cold environment, when you reach Yuan Shu's position, it is so precious to have a bad friend like Guo Jia. As the "imperial power" increases day by day, the ministers under his command are either in awe or like Jia Xu, in the spirit of accompanying the emperor.

Like Ban Hu, he had to consider every word for a long time in order to protect himself. Guo Jia was as unruly as ever, and he was the only one under Yuan Shu's command.

"By the way, my lord, I heard that the girls in Zhangtai in Qiao County are pretty good. Do you want to go and have a look?" Suddenly, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone, looking at Yuan Shu as if he understood.

(Zhangtai is a brothel during the Three Kingdoms period)

Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia's swinger look and rolled his eyes: "You already have a wife and children, why do you always like to go to places like this? There are so many Zhangtai in Yangzhou that you can't even visit.

?”

Hearing this, Guo Jia said in a solemn voice: "My lord, you don't understand. The war is going on, and the merchants and people are still making a living. The most pitiable ones are these girls in Zhang Taichung. Everyone is busy saving their lives, how many people care about these people?"

Girls? What a pity that they all have no source of income, how difficult their life must be! Jia is a soft-hearted person, and he hates to see beautiful girls feel sad, so he has to visit one or two every time to solve their difficulties.

.”

Hearing Guo Jia's shameless words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Why are these words so high-sounding? He is really like a saint. I almost believe what he said. He can talk about prostitutes in such a fresh and refined way. This

Who would the times choose over you? If you fall to later generations, you will definitely have a place among the candidates for the strongest joker in the world.

"So you only care about pretty girls, and you don't care about the ones who are not pretty?"

Guo Jia looked pitiful and said sadly: "Jia is just a mortal with limited abilities. He is weak, but Jia can only drink from one gourd. There are so many girls in need in the world, how can Jia alone save them all?"

We can only do our best to save some destined people."

Yuan Shu's face straightened when he heard this, and he looked at Guo Jia seriously: "Fengxiao, I finally understand."

"My lord, now you understand Jia's painstaking efforts!"

"No." Yuan Shu shook his head: "I used to think that Liu Xuande was the most shameless person in the world, but now I understand that I was wrong. Liu Xuande's face is not thick enough compared to yours! Your face is thicker than the walls of Jinling City
